Khaby Lame opens up after encounter with Will Smith

Senegal-born Italian TikTok sensation Khaby Lame has shared his pleasure upon meeting multi-award winning American actor, rapper and film producer Will Smith.

Sharing a few photos on his X account the 24-year-old social media personality gushed about his experience as he went on to note the impact that the ‘Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ star has had on him and his professional journey.

“A dream come true; it was a pleasure to meet you,” Khaby wrote as he shared a photo of him and the 55-year-old Hollywood star taking a selfie.

He went on to laud praises on the father of 3 for his work adding that he truly looks up to Will and aspires to be an actor just like him.

“Thanks for all the laughs. You are the one that inspired me to work on becoming an actor. One day I will become an actor like you inshallah, I promise you,” the last of Khaby’s post read as he shared another photo of him and Will Smith smiling broadly as ‘Aladdin’ star draped his arm over Khabe’s shoulder.

The post has received over 22k likes in less than 24 hours with netizens gassed up the TikToker.

This is not the first time Khaby has gushed over his love for Will and his aspiration to be a household name just like him.

Back in 2022 he shared his aspiration of featuring in a movie with the father of 3 after revealing he got the urge to pursuing acting after watching The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

“His goal is to be in a movie, and hopefully one day with Smith. He has always been his idol and he wants to be like him,” his manager said as he translated the star’s Italian to English during an interview.
